MOVEABLE FEASTS

A moveable feast is a feast day whose date changes each year because it depends on the date of Easter, which is itself a moveable feast. However, the term moveable feast is used for any event on, or related to, the Christian calendar that varies from year to year. Thus the Baptism of the Lord, while not related to the date of Easter, is celebrated on a different date each year, and Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday, while not officially a Christian celebration, is linked to the date of Easter, and both are referred to as moveable feasts.
